HoneyHoney is rich, readily assimilable energy giving food. It is used as a carrier in many Ayurvedic and Unani medicines.It is used as a laxative and blood purifier. Honey is widely used in beauty products

Bee Wax

Secondary product of bee activity.Market potential persists for quality, domestic beeswax. The beekeeping industry, which uses beeswax to form wax foundation for the frames in the hive, is one of the largest users of this by-product. There is also a high demand for pure beeswax candles.

Royal jellyA substance secreted by worker bees to feed the queen, and bee pollen (more accurately, “bee-collected pollen”), are being promoted as dietary supplements.

Specialty products from the combHoney butter and whipped honey are made from extracted honey. Chunk honey is a combination of comb honey and extracted honey bottled together.

Different use of honey • Honey is rich, readily assimilable energy giving food.• One kilogram of honey is estimated to be equivalent to five

kilograms of milk, one and a half kilogram of meat, forty oranges or fifty eggs.

• It is used as a carrier in many Ayurvedic and Unani medicines.

• It is used as a laxative and blood purifier.• Heal Wounds, Cuts, Scrapes & Burns. Don’t reach for

the Neosporin the next time you cut or burn yourself — simply apply honey to the affected area. Honey works as a natural antiseptic.

•  Soothe Sore Throats and Coughs. Combine honey with the juice of one lemon and drink. It works like a wonder!

• Remove Parasites. • Moisturize Dry Skin. • Condition Damaged Hair.

Page 12: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

Different use of wax• Wax is used in :• The manufacture of cosmetics like beauty lotions and

creams• lipsticks, ointments, • polishes for boots, floor and furniture,• of lubricants, • Paints, • varnishes ink, • electrical insulating apparatus• and candles.

Nutrition and Medical importance Honey is much more than just a simple sugar. Rich in minerals and

nutrients, Honey also has some antibiotic properties that may aid in the healing

process. For thousands of years honey has been used by mankind in many

capacities to help give the human body energy and health. Honey is a supersaturated sugar solution with approximately 17.1

percent water. Fructose is the predominant sugar at 38.5 percent, followed by glucose at 31 percent. Disac- charides, trisac -charides and oligosaccharides are present in much smaller quantities. Besides carbohydrates, honey contains small amounts of protein, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Honey is known to be rich in both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, including catalase, ascorbic acid, flavonoids and alkaloids. Although appearing only in trace amounts honey also contains about 18 different amino acids.

Benefit to Environment along with Employment

The plantation of Trees will provide employment to Unemployed as a whole. A viable and practical biological indicator is the bee as it can indicate

environment degradation based on several factors:– a bee has a body that is covered in hairs, which makes it particularly suitable to

hold materials and substances they come in contact with;– a bee is highly sensitive to most plant protection products;– bees have high mortality rates when in contact with pesticides;– toxic and pollutant residues can be found in bee products and in their bodies;– A bee can fly over wide areas and thus provide environmental monitoring for such

areas An estimated 80 percent of flowering plants are entomophilous i.e.

depending more or less on insect pollination to be able to reproduce, and it is estimated that half of the pollinators of tropical plants are bees.

Beeswax, propolis, pollen and royal jelly. These products have many uses, and can be used to create income.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT Being Labour-Intensive Process of honey, it provides

Employment Opportunity to the Rural Poor who can do these individually or by forming groups.

It provides livelihood opportunities to the unemployed Rural women.

Empowers women as they get financial benefits. Ultimately, improving Livelihood of the poor. This activity does

not need any school qualification. Everybody can be a beekeeper Bees can be kept by people of all ages. Bees do not need daily care and beekeeping can be done when

other work allows.This presentation is prepared by Ms Mahina for a specific goal and made available to specific person. Disclosure of this presentation to any

EDIBLE AND EXPORTABLE

Honey is being a widely used in medicine, bakeries and beauty products and having high nutritional value is being consumed by many other Countries.

Land ownership not essential Hives can be placed anywhere convenient, and so

beekeeping does not use up valuable land. Bees collect nectar and pollen wherever they can

find it, so wild, cultivated and wasteland areas all have value for beekeeping.

Production consideration Site selection and obtaining bees:• Ideally, hives should be located within 1 to 2 miles of a succession of

spring, summer, and fall nectar sources.• The latest information suggests that it is best to place them in full

sunlight to help combat the small hive beetle. • A source of water, such as a dripping hose, should be located nearby. • Avoid locations near large rivers, highways, public areas, or on hilltops.

• Hives should be protected against cold winter winds. Hives located near

cultivated crops are potentially in danger of exposure to insecticides. • Obtaining the cooperation of the grower and/or pesticide applicator will

be essential to avoid bee losses

Harvesting of Honey Harvesting and processing honey Honey is considered ripe when the bees cap the honey.

Supers, the chambers used to store surplus honey in the hive, can be removed from the

hive once they are completely capped over. The honey should be processed soon after harvesting and then stored in sealed

containers in a warm, dry place or in a freezer until marketed. Pieces of sealed and undamaged honeycomb can be cut into neat pieces, packaged in

plastic wrap or boxes, and sold as comb honey. Liquid honey may be separated from the combs using professional extracting equipment.

Small-scale beekeepers, however, can do the job cheaply by crushing the combs and

letting the honey run slowly through strainers. Extracted honey is packaged in clear glass or plastic containers. Chunk honey is prepared by placing a portion of honeycomb in a jar and filling up the

rest of the jar with the extracted liquid honey. Beeswax is collected after all honey has been removed from the combs. It should be

cleaned, melted down, and strained. It stores well at room temperature in the form of large chunks.

1. Uncap Combs

• After we have removed the honey combs and bushed off the bees we put them in a sealed box to keep the bees from rejoining the honey combs.

• We then use our electric knife to uncap the combs. Uncap each side.

• Going slow enough so the knife does not cool too much, we use the shown arrangement to allow the caps to fall into the pan below.

• Tilting the frame slightly will assist is this effort.

Page 29: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

2. Insert In Extractor

• When you uncap both sides of one comb slide it into the extractor.

Page 30: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

3. Insert In Extractor

• When you uncap both sides of another comb slide it into the extractor. Our extractor holds just two combs at a time. It will work best to try to have the two combs as best the same weight as can be achieved.

Page 31: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

4. Crank Centrifuge

We connect the crank to the top of the extractor and begin to crank. Go slow at first. As more of the honey gets flung to the sides you can speed things up. After you have extracted honey for the one side of the two combs unhook the top and reverse the combs to extract honey from the other sides of the two combs.

Page 32: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

5. Honey Draining

We have positioned our large pot under the drain pipe on the extractor. Here Bernice checks to see that the honey does not overflow. Overflowing can spoil the whole day.

Page 33: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

6. Close up

This shows the large pot as full as we want it to be. Paul will remove the pot quickly with Bernice holding another small container to catch any additional honey falling until we can get another large pot set in place.

Page 34: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

7. Our Output

The next step will be to put the large pot on a stove burner on low heat. We want to heat it slightly to make it less viscus. Stir continually so the honey does not get too hot on the bottom. Then after getting it warm, we pour the honey through a sieve to remove any wax or any other extraneous material. Below the sieve we put our quart or pint jars.

Precaution during Bee Keeping As this is an activity of working in close contact with thousands and thousands of stinging insects that tend to dislike disturbances and will bravely defend their home in the face of a perceived threat. It’s wise to do safety homework and approach with care and caution. Here are a few ideas to help stay safe during apiary chores:1. Work CarefullyBees don’t like noises , so try to keep movements quiet, with minimal bumps and bangs. 2. Do Inspections During Nice Weather:Pick a day with nice weather, to inspect the hive having fewer bees inside, as many of the workers will be out "working.” This less-crowded hive will be easier—and safer— to work in.3. Wear Protective Gear:As a beginner, it’s best to keep protective clothing provides will help to concentrate more fully on learning the habits of your bees. It should also make feel more confident about going out to work.4. Keep The Hive Tidy:keeping a clean area around your hives has the potential to keep both you and your bees safe. Don’t leave empty hive boxes

REQUIREMENTS FOR A CLUSTER /INDIVIDUAL

Honey extracting equipment for the hobbyist is specialized and represents a one-time investment of about $500 for new equipment. Used equipment is often available at significant savings. These are the basic tools and procedures extracting honey:1.Uncapping knife (Fig. 1) - A heated knife for slicing off the cappings from combs of honey.2.Uncapping tank - A container for receiving the cappings. Wet cappings fall onto a screen, and honey drips through to the bottom of the tank and out a spigot.3.Extractor - A drum containing a rotating wire basket. Uncapped combs are placed in the basket and the basket is turned by hand or by motor. Honey is flung out of the combs onto the sides of the tank and drains through a spigot.4.Storage tank - A large tank with a spigot, or "honey gate," at the bottom. As honey settles in the tank, air bubbles and small debris rise to the top and can be skimmed off, allowing honey that is bottled from the honey gate to be clear and attractive.5.Strainer - A mesh of coarse screen or cloth directly under the extractor spigot or on top of storage tank. This filters out large debris such as wax and dead bees.Local transportation to and from warehouse to Villages

Page 46: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

MAN – POWER REQUIREMENT Labor needs for beekeeping and honey production

are quite variable. For example, the time spent establishing new hives will depend on materials used. In addition, considerable time can be spent simply driving between hive locations.

• While it is difficult to estimate exact labor times for caring for bees and harvesting, beginning honey producers should expect to spend at least 28 hours per year managing 2 hives. Labor time per hive should decline somewhat with experience and as more hives are added.

Page 47: feb 5 bee keeping  to Mano (1)

Export and Investment Incentive BOI (Board of Investment) in Bangladesh says that

A) Government and NGOs conduct regular training programs to develop skilled manpower in the Agro Based Industry.

B) High value-added foods for export, including herbs, spices, nuts and pulses.
